prebuilt upgrade

[Noob872]

I upgraded my dell prebuilt and this is how it looks. I am a little concerned that the gpu is too close to the power supply, and that would cause the power supply to overheat. Also the cable management is not finished just temporary. Could somone make sure that nothing will die soon if i keep it like this i can share the thermals

 

gpu- max 75 c

cpu- max 80 c

 

Also on a side note is using msi afterburners oc scanner good

It will probably be fine

 

The case might have a cut out so that you can flip your powersupply and get air from outside the case.

You may wanna put a fan on the backpanel. Seems like this case doesn't have any active airflow part from the psu. The config as it is now is fine.

During extended gaming sessions (like half hour plus) I wouldn't be surprised that issues start arising.

why no fans in there?

 

the thing with the psu is that it sucks air in and out the back and the gpu suck air in and out the sides so it would fight for air. and if you side pannel has a fan for the cpu it completely blocked and sends air to the cpu only. so only way to get air is thow the cracks of the pci slot or the back fan slots. i guess there small holes up front but probably vary restrictive.

 

side not lots of psu don't use the fan or at low rpm but i guess some do.

 

mods would be to add fans to the back top front  and flip the psu and add a hole for that. i guess you could add a fan to the ouside of the pci slots...
